Google Apps
Minimal Edition for Android 5.0.x & 5.1 is a modified, slimmed down version
of the Google Apps package. The goal of these packages is to provide the
smallest GApps pack possible in addition to de-bloating your custom ROM
(de-bloat script offered in Add-On section). The GApps Minimal Edition only
includes the absolute essentials to make everything run properly. This includes
the Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Contact Sync along with
the necessary frameworks and libraries.
